Question: 1 / 1505

A legal description reads as follows; "NW 1/4 of Section 2 and the W 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 35". How many acres is this?

20 acres

160 acres

240 acres

To determine the total number of acres represented by the legal description "NW 1/4 of Section 2 and the W 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 35," it’s essential to understand how sections and quarters of sections are measured in land surveys.

Each section in a survey system typically contains 640 acres.

First, let’s evaluate the NW 1/4 of Section 2. Since a quarter of a section is one-fourth of 640 acres, this area would contain:

- NW 1/4 of Section 2 = 640 acres / 4 = 160 acres.

Next, we consider the W 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 35. The SW 1/4 of a section is also one-fourth of 640 acres, resulting in:

- SW 1/4 of Section 35 = 640 acres / 4 = 160 acres.

Now, taking the W 1/2 of that SW 1/4:

- W 1/2 of the SW 1/4 = 160 acres / 2 = 80 acres.

Finally, we add the two areas together to find the total:
